First off, thank you for your tempered response. However, I still must respectfully disagree.

This post is only to make people aware of what is currently happening to our farmers and the reason for the killings

Hmm. No, it seems to be only talking about what's happening to white farmers, and that's where there's an issue. It's horrible what's happened to these people, and it's clear that you guys have some pretty deep seated issues over there for this to be going on (not that we can really talk here in the States).

My issue is the 'could not find any equitable statistics' part. What exactly do you mean by this? It seems to mean that you ignored some statistics because you didn't like them (i.e., they seemed to draw a picture that was quite different from the one you prefer).

If South Africa is really keeping legitimate tabs only on the amount of white people killed, then your problems go much deeper than anyone supposes.

At any rate, I think your wish that everyone living there can experience democracy is a noble one and I agree that politicians are often so busy playing their games that positive change can be slow. Good luck, and best wishes to the families of those effected.
